Coues Sniper

dang right I want one, that's sweet!

Great buck, congrats

I've done that, works well. I go over to my old mans house and use his air compressor to clean off most of the dust, and the alcohol swabs to get any grime. I also bring a can of compressed air with me on hunts, but the compressor is obviously much more effective.

I recommend the Harris 9-13" Swivel. Casey is right that the 13-25 is too tall for prone. With the 9-13" you can shoot prone very comfortably, and still raise it up to 13" to get over most grass and whatnot. I practice out to 700 yards with mine and have been able to shoot 1/2 moa at that distance under field conditions (on a really good day.) If i need to shoot sitting for whatever reason, i use my tripod with a rear support. My 2 pennies anyway .

No surprise here... my Christensen 300 RUM. 7 lbs scoped, and like SunDevil said it shoots like a laser no matter what she eats. Best shooting rifle I've ever owned. Love that gun.

Hope you appreciate that draw length there monkey arms! Wish i had a 32" draw. Oh the KE i could get... (drools on keyboard) How do you like those Tricks? And I'll be using my 300 Ultra with a Leupold 4.5-14x56mm scope and probably 180 grain Sciroccos. I'll post some pics when i get a chance.

Your little bro is a hero man . God bless him and all our troops.

Agreed. They may be unbreakable, but not unloseable. Arrows are pricey enough, and my Gold Tips are plenty durable.

Booooooooooooooooooooo

Looks like the last hunt they have until December is June 20th. It says they require that you have a CA hunting license and a pig tag which would add another $200 to the price... is that true???

Proper English? "Atleast"? Ha ha, busted! And you're supposed to be able to bench your own bodyweight, sissy.

That's freaking awesome!

Rimhunter, It's not BS, it's just my opinion . And I agree that skill has just as much to do with locating animals as the quality of glass. But better quality certainly can't hurt. Skyhawk - If you're set on getting the Vortex and that's all you can get right now, then do it. Just saying that you would probably be better off with higher quality glass. That's all. Good luck with whatever you purchase. Kevin

Vortex stuff may seem nice, but you're kidding yourself if you really think they compare to the likes of Swaro, Zeiss, or Leica. I've haven't used them much more than just checking them out, but everyone I know who jumped on the Vortex bandwagon learned their lesson and jumped right back. Longshooter on here had a Vortex scope that he was all proud of and the focus knob stopped working in the middle of a hunt just after he bought it . The quality just isn't there. They aren't garbage, but the only thing they have in common with Swarovski is the color . Listen to GH on this one.

Great job, congrats on a great bird with a recurve!

Ahhhhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! LMAO!!!

Sweet rig . Specs?

Scott, I have 55 sounds on mine that I'll share with you. Send me a PM. Kevin

Tony between you and Scottyboy I swear ................................

Scott, I don't know you, but after looking at your photos I feel the need to call you by your avatar name Phenomenal trophies sir. I am just insanely jealous. I especially like how you used the giraffe you killed to cover the rifle you killed that axis with. And that stag is just sick. I'm definitely killing one of those someday. Out of curiosity, who did you use down there and would you reccomend them? (I'm assuming New Zealand)

You must have missed the English lesson I'm guessing...

Those would probably work better. I usually have a pair with chords in my pocket, but the ones you are talking about would be a better way to go. Still kind of a pain in the butt though. I was helping a buddy with his Strip tag last year and last day he decided to whack this little 160" buck (worst year ever up there). Anyhow, during the last part of the stalk he puts his earplugs in. We get to where he wanted to shoot from and the buck had gotten up on us and actually came our way quite a ways. We're glassing and i pick up the top of his rack right below us and he has us pegged. I'm trying to whisper to Brad that i have the buck, but he can't hear me 'cause of the dang earplugs. I start throwing little rocks to get his attention (we're about 10 yards apart) with no luck. Finally, the buck busts out and Brad yells "There his is!" We got him killed, but it wasn't pretty. If it wasn't a carp, he'd have gone home empty handed.

brand? pics?

I don't have any experience with those. The only "quiet brake" i have heard of is made by Gentry, and from what i hear they are still loud. Seems to me a quiet brake is about as possible as skinny, opinionated Rosie but what do i know. I use a brake and carry earplugs, but that too is a flawed system at best.

Lame. Lame I say!
